Apartments Split Croatia | Stone House Niksa

This charming stone villa dating back to the early medieval period is situated in the old quarter of Veli Varos at the very heart of the city.

The area still breaths with the charm of old ages, filled with winding narrow streets and alleys, enchanting shaded courtyards and konobas* and stone-tiled roofs.

* Konoba; historically Konobas were simple cool rooms were wine, olive oil, cured meats and fish were stored alongside other everyday implements, and where food was often prepared which is why they usually feature fire places and dining tables. Commercial konobas (or ostarijas) which can be found throughout Dalmatia are open to paying customers and offer simple, high quality food made from freshest local ingredients using well-established old recipes and often focusing on sea food and local house wines and spirits. They are family owned and kept in the old world style and generally provide fantastic value for money as well as being an essential aspect of dalmatian living.
